I roped in my brother. I have no more family members to enlist. Anyone else have kin to lean on?
-
Welcome Portland.
-
We are still looking for one new owner.
-
Welcome Graeme, Hudson Duffers brother, to the league. The Saltillo Sluggers are now the Portland Rainmakers.
-
An owner asked.....you must actively drop a player before the keeper deadline. Anyone not dropped is kept as of 2359 ET on 1/31.
-
One good guide is to view the average and median salary information for each of your players (top of each player's individual page). Generally (depending on your overall roster and needs) you should try to keep players with surplus value and cut those who are well above their average salary. You can always cut and then try to win back at auction at a lower price.
-
I am struggling to work out who I need to cut beyond a couple of overpriced underperformers. I have high expectations for my rookies.
-
Last years Newbies are going to be dangerous now that they have a year under their belt.
-
I'm in. Just renewed. Looking forward to the draft. Looks like it is building to be very interesting.
-
your salaries need to be below 361 + the number of players on your roster. For example, if you have 25 players, your salary total must be under 386 (385 would be the max....as you need room for 15 more players).
-
As a reminder, no roster changes are allowed after the drop deadline. You can drop players now but can't pick them up. Trades are also allowed now, but are not allowed after the drop deadline.
-
If one dropped player does not make a roster legal, the most expensive player on the team will be dropped. The process will be repeated until the roster is legal.
-
A reminder of the process for teams with illegal rosters after the drop deadline (1/31). The Commish (me) will use a protocol to drop players to get rosters in line. If a single player makes the team legal, the least expensive player that will do that will be dropped. If there are two or more players with the same salary that would make the roster legal, the one who had the least points in 2023 will be dropped. The Commish does not want to do this, so please drops players before the deadline.
-
Everyone needs to extend their membership by 1/31. To do so, go to the community tab and you will find your data, include an extend here tab where you can pay your 20 for 2024.

Since it is not clear if Adjuvance will exist going forward, I have changed the name to that of my consulting company. I have also set the draft for 0900ET/0800CT on Saturday 16 MARCH.

Fine by me. I am up to seven leagues so sooner we get this on the schedule the better.
-
Draft day? Opening day this year is 20 MARCH. The Saturday afternoon before that (our traditional draft date) is 16 MARCH (which happens to be during the B10 BB tournament). I can make that day work if we go early or late. By early, I mean 0800 CT....by late, I mean 1800 CT. Thoughts?

We have one potential new owner, and am still looking for another. If you have someone who is interested to play, please send me an email and I will engage with them. Bruce has nominated his brother, and I have messaged him. The keeper deadline is 1/31 so it would be good to get new owners online before that so they can strip down the two old teams in preparation for the rebuild at the draft.

Returning owners, we are looking for two new owners. If you have suggestions, let me know and I will contact them to determine fit and confirm interest.

Arbitration is now complete and salaries are updated on your roster pages.
Before the end of arbitration, players may not be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players.
Thank you to Jared and Anna for your playing over the years. Since you are leaving, you should not make any trades or cuts. We will leave that for your teams new

Hey all! Just a reminder that the arbitration deadline is tomorrow night. All owners but one have allocated their dollars. You can still make adjustments up to midnight tomorrow night (and I believe that is midnight ET).

Paul, Luke and JD, Don't forget to do your arbitration. You can always modify it up until the 14th, but it would be great if you did it now so that we know everyone is good.
-
Only 3 teams left for arbitration, but remember that you can change you allocations up until the lock date.

5 of 12 owners have completed arbitration (although they can still change their numbers). For the other 7, please get your numbers added as soon as you can so we make sure everyone is finished. You can always make adjustments, but we want to be sure everyone gets in on this. Message me if you have questions.

Much appreciated.
-
I only see the 42 of 42 and $411. I believe that is the correct one. It may take a while for everything to refresh as I believe Niv only did this earlier today.
-
I am confused. On the site I have two sets of numbers. On two tabs, including the "Rosters" tab, I have 42 of 42 and $411 of $400. And on the toppling Hudson Duffers tab I have 43 of 42 and $421 of 400. Which is right?
-
FYI -- Annual salary increases have been applied to everyone's teams ($2 to MLB players and $1 to MiLB players) and loan $ has reverted back to original team. Arbitration starts on Sunday.
-
For our newer owners here is a good article on arbitration strategy https://www.pitcherlist.com/ottoneu-arbitration/#:~:text=arbitration%20system.,than%20%243%20to%20each%20team
-
Arbitration dates confirmed by NIV. Start is 10/15. End is 11/14. This is the last task for the retiring owners.
-
It looks to me like Arbitration will begin on 10/15. Does anyone else see a different date? I see 10/15/22....so assume it will be the same this year.
-
Clarification re: drops from the OttoNeu rules page: Before the end of arbitration, players may not be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players.
-
Next step is arbitration. Let me know if you need help. Player auctions are frozen but I think you can drop players (I just had to drop as I won the last auction.

Great final day of the season! Joe gets the last OPL eligible slot and Larry sets the all time scoring record!
-
potential pitching implosions during these games do put this progress at risk.
-
Joe and Stephan have both passed Luke, but it looks like Joe has a strong hold on 6th.
-
Larry has broken the single season scoring record, adding to his list of accomplishments this season!
-
It’s the final day of the season! Joe had a big day yesterday and now has a 48 pt lead over Luke for 6th. Luke and Stephan are going to battle for 7th. In addition, Larry is chasing the all time season record of 19602 by Stephen in 2021.
-
Joe and Stephan passed Luke today! Who will come out on top tomorrow with OPL eligibility on the line?

Big news in the race for 6th, and the final 2024 eligible OPL spot. Stephan had a 100pt day, and got back in the mix. Luke leads Stephan by 18/d, and Joe is 1/d behind Stephan. Joe is also closing in on Luke, but Stephan was the big mover. With 2d left, it will be exciting.

3d left. Luke leads Joe for 6th by 24/d. Joe leads Stephan for 7th by 15/d. Crunch time!

Our league does allocations:
The allocation system gives a $25 budget to each team in the league.
The team must allocate this budget towards players on other teams.
Each team must allocate at least one dollar to every other team, and no team can allocate more than $3 to any other team.
At the end of the allocation period, all players have their salary increased by the amount allocated towards them.
Allocations take place after the initial offseason salary increase.
-
Looking ahead, which type of arbitration model do we use in our league?

4d left. Luke continues to lead Joe for 6th, but Joe is getting closer having cut the lead to 29/d. Stephan trials Joe by 8/d. Paul clinched 9th over JD yesterday. So the battle for 6-7-8 is the only one left going into this weekend.

No playoffs. Most total points wins, which I believe is the most common Ottoneu league type.
-
Do we have play-offs in our league? I am still working out all the end of regular season options offered by Ottoneu.

5d left. Brandon has clinched 4th over Bruce. Luke had his lead over Joe reduced to 35/d. Joe leads Stephan by 5/d. Paul leads JD by 43/d. All others spots are locked.
